My response:

Hypocrisy in education is killing the Nation. If our education is the best, then why do we want to study abroad? If the education system in the US is not good, then how come we are inviting their companies to manufacture in India? How come the US with a bad education and research, is possessing one of the most advanced technologies in the World. How come IITs openly prefer US educated faculty? How come IIT Directors and their teams visit the US occasionally in search of a US educated faculty? There is a lot more to say but this comparison itself is good enough to read between the lines.

Politicization of education, hypocrisy, nepotism, corrupt practices and keeping education and research on the backburner will not help in making the spine of our education system erect. It is painful to see the target fixed for completing the number of PhDs per year from IITs and other Institutions. How can we treat PhD as something like vegetables available in the market?
